I've used a 35S previously (with a flash, which is a novel experience)
but didn't really look at the metering/focusing methods much. The guy
who put it in my hands and told me to take a picture seemed to guess the
range. Are there any viewfinder focusing aids on it?
Which do you prefer to use? I'm leaning towards the XA, but it can't set
ASA1600, which is what I want to shoot. (I know XA2/3/4 can set ASA1600.
Is the XA's optical quality better than them?)

Hi Dan
I have both Tessar and Sonnar versions of the Rollei 35, and an XA and
XA2..
My general impression is that the Rolleis give superior results,
although
the XA wins on closeups due to the rangefinder. However, a 35mm lens is
not
ideal for people closeups, so the 40mm scale-focussing Rolleis are
adequate
for most subjects that I take.
The XA can be put in a chest pocket without feeling so noticable as the
Rollei, which is considerably heavier. That can be a considerable
advantage
when Crosscountry skiing with a pack with hipbelt.

Please respond to
olympus
Has anyone used a Rollei 35 (Sonnar or Tessar lens)?
How does lens/image quality compare to the XA (or 1/2/3/4)

Dan
